They must be pretty certain she will win to dare publish this piece:

....But passing on the plane-crash candidate doesn’t mean ignoring the dangers of his rival.

The dangers of a Hillary Clinton presidency are more familiar than Trump’s authoritarian unknowns, because we live with them in our politics already. They’re the dangers of elite groupthink, of Beltway power worship, of a cult of presidential action in the service of dubious ideals. They’re the dangers of a recklessness and radicalism that doesn’t recognize itself as either, because it’s convinced that if an idea is mainstream and commonplace among the great and good then it cannot possibly be folly.

Almost every crisis that has come upon the West in the last 15 years has its roots in this establishmentarian type of folly. The Iraq War, which liberals prefer to remember as a conflict conjured by a neoconservative cabal, was actually the work of a bipartisan interventionist consensus, pushed hard by George W. Bush but embraced as well by a large slice of center-left opinion that included Tony Blair and more than half of Senate Democrats.

Likewise the financial crisis: Whether you blame financial-services deregulation or happy-go-lucky housing policy (or both), the policies that helped inflate and pop the bubble were embraced by both wings of the political establishment. Likewise with the euro, the European common currency, a terrible idea that only cranks and Little Englanders dared oppose until the Great Recession exposed it as a potentially economy-sinking folly. Likewise with Angela Merkel’s grand and reckless open-borders gesture just last year: She was the heroine of a thousand profiles even as she delivered her continent to polarization and violence.

This record of elite folly — which doesn’t even include lesser case studies like our splendid little war in Libya — is a big part of why the United States has a “let’s try crazy” candidate in this election, and why there are so many Trumpian parties thriving on European soil.....

It's by Ross Douthat, their conservative columnist.

What did he write that wasn't correct?

No worries. Trump ain't gonna lose!

Conservative there is to the left of George Pataki. And they haven't been posting any negative pieces on Hillary.

I didn't say he wrote incorrect things. I was just pointing out on how the NYT could publish this: one of their own columnists wrote it.

To me it reads as a very white-washed version of exactly what you see here: a minority of people who are angry at the world and confused about who to blame, so they lash out at the one constant in the world -- government.

Angry and confused? Awesome.

That word look you keep getting? It's probably because you inadvertently make everyone you speak to in the real world feel like they need to nonchalantly check their shoes to see if they stepped in dog crap.
